Fleetwood Group is an amazing company located in Holland, Michigan. They
produce some of the finest wireless electronics and educational furniture
but that's not what makes them amazing. They are Christ center and
employee owned. Willing missionaries; not enough funding. That was the
unusual backdrop to the beginning of the Fleetwood story.
Norwood Hubbell founded Fleetwood in 1955 with two inspirations:
First, he was convinced God had called him to lead a company that would
provide funding for missionaries struggling to get the financial
assistance they needed.
Second, he had a great product idea - mobile educational furniture.
True to their calling fifty years later Fleetwood remains convinced they
are called to take a Christ-centered approach to business.
Diane Suits an employee/owner at Fleetwood asked us to share with the
Fleetwood's mission committee what International Orphanage Union was doing
in Bolvia. One month later they asked if they could fund the construction
of our fifth orphanage. We serve an amazing God!
